Book now or miss out on the PetQuip Industry Awards dinner


Reservations are flooding in for the PetQuip Industry Awards dinner taking place during PATS Harrogate so now is the time to act quickly, say the organisers.

The inaugural event, featuring The New Amen Corner band, takes place at the Majestic Hotel on Sunday, September 15.

The evening promises to be one of fun and relaxation spiced up with a little suspense as the winners of the PetQuip Industry Awards are revealed.

Pat Flynn, trade association manager for PetQuip, said: "We have attracted an impressive number of entries for this our first event and we are looking forward to celebrating with all the winning retailers and product manufacturers.  

"Whilst there is a business element to the evening when the awards are presented, the ceremony will be short and professional so that everyone can enjoy the networking and dancing to a live band."

Meanwhile, Gordon Thomas, of Impact Exhibitions, the organisers of PATS, said: "It's great that PetQuip has decided to stage these new awards alongside our Harrogate exhibition. PATS Harrogate promises to be a brilliant show for the industry, a fact that can only help to enhance these awards.

"The fact that the awards  have attracted an impressive line-up of finalists in their first year shows that the pet industry welcomes these new awards."

The awards ceremony will take place in the Carriage Suite, The Majestic Hotel, Harrogate, at 7.30pm.

Tickets to the evening include a pre-dinner drinks reception, a three course meal with wine, the awards ceremony and live entertainment from The New Amen Corner band, and cost £56 plus VAT (£46 plus VAT for PetQuip members). Book now by calling Pat on 07778 313623 or emailing her on pat@petquip.com
